Inside The Bills

Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins will make an autograph appearance at Frontier Field on Monday, August 11 as the Red Wings (The Triple-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins) host the Durham Bulls.

Watkins will sign from 6:00-6:45 p.m. and from 7:15-8:00 p.m. in the Red Wings Hall of Fame located along the first base side of the concourse.

After a standout career at Clemson University in which he caught 240 passes for 3,391 yards and 27 touchdowns, the Bills selected Watkins with the 4th overall pick in this year’s draft.

Interestingly, Watkins is the cousin of former Red Wing Tommy Watkins, who played in 305 games for Rochester from 2006-09.

Every Monday at Frontier Field this season is a Kids Eat Free night presented by Basch & Nickerson. The first 500 kids, 12 and under through the gates will receive a coupon for a free hot dog, soda and snack item.

Red Wings single-game tickets can be purchased now by visiting RedWingsBaseball.com, by calling (585) 423-WING (9464) or at the Frontier Field ticket windows during normal business hours.
